The Vienna Lines have paid almost twelve million euros for the purchase of two buildings needed for the construction of subway line U5, with the city’s Court of Auditors detecting overpayments compared to the market values, but classifying them as justifiable. #WienerLinien #Stadtentwicklung #UbahnBau (translated)

Lexa wrote that Friedrich Merz explained on the Tagesschau that Russia is waging war against Europe and Germany. As evidence, Merz cited an "armed attack" on the Leipzig airport on August 4, which he claimed was solely carried out by Russia. Lexa interpreted this formulation as a justification for further arms deliveries, rearmament, and sanctions. The resulting costs, including higher energy prices, the migration of industry, and burdens on the budget, would, in his opinion, be imposed on the citizens. Moreover, people who questioned the evidence or the benefits of continued support for Kiev would be portrayed as opponents. According to Lexa, the EU is also pursuing this course and rejecting negotiations with Moscow as long as the guns are not silent. He wrote that this condition prolongs the conflict instead of ending it. #Russland #Krieg #Energiepreise (translated)

Wuja Jurek ⚽️🇵🇱 summarized the October training camp of the Polish national team, criticizing both the squad decisions and the team's performances. Among the events, he mentioned the dispute over call-ups and the absence of Karol Czubak in the squad, as well as the popular topic on X linking Czubak with Jan Urban. He also mentioned the scandal involving the recording of Łukasz Wachowski and Cezary Kulesza, whom he described as drunk, and the alleged change of the child leading Robert Lewandowski onto the pitch. The author deemed the match against Bosnia very poor, especially in the first half, and rated the final balance of four matches as a mere four points. He criticized Jan Urban for questioning the penalty and positively assessing the team’s play. He noted that Jan Bednarek caused a penalty, leading to Poland's loss to the Bosnians. He observed that Lewandowski scored three goals before being suspended for cards and not flying to the last match in Bosnia. He added that after his goals, commentators stopped suggesting he should retire and once again regarded him as a key player for the team. In his summary, Wuja Jurek also described Pietuszewski's call-up for the match against Sweden, joking that he could have strengthened the stands and tried the meatballs in the VIP area. He wrote that Potulski did not play again during the camp after a decent first appearance, and Wojciech Mońka watched the match against Romania from the stands once again before joining the youth national team. He also criticized Puchacz for a defensive mistake and a yellow card, as well as Wiśniewski for his behavior during the third goal, reminding that the player later explained letting go of Viktor Gyökeres with lessons learned from Italy. The author noted that the information about the goalkeeper coach's responsibility for defensive set pieces came to light during the camp. He also compared Julian Hall's debut in the USA national team after Kulesza's visit to that country and his two goals with the results of Polish teams: the U-21 team's victory over Sweden and Jerzy Brzęczek's team’s defeat to Italy. He wrote that after the youth team's victory, Brzęczek was increasingly pointed out as a future selector of the senior team, but after the loss to Italy, he was no longer presented as a possible savior and successor to Urban. Wuja Jurek also mentioned the victory over Romania after a red card, which he described as lucky, and the game 10 on 10 when Karol Świderski spent a full 90 minutes on the pitch. He noted Świderski's another appearance for the national team and Włodar's appeal in the Meczyków program to raise Marcin Bułka's rating for saving Jakub Kiwior's dangerous shot. Among other events, he mentioned a trend on social media involving Pucha2115, who — he wrote — swapped a JBL speaker for a Bible, and the recurring debate about playing with three or four defenders. #ReprezentacjaPolski #PiłkaNożna #Ekstraklasa (translated)

"In Kryvyi Rih, the situation is, in fact, worse than anywhere else, except for the front line itself." Mayor Oleksandr Vilkul stated that this industrial city — which stretches along the banks of the Inhulets River — is doing everything possible to ensure that its hospitals remain open, that lights stay on in kindergartens and schools, and that buses continue to run. #Ucraina #CrizaBugetară #Război (translated)

Tobias Ulbrich wrote on October 5, 2026, that the Cologne Higher Regional Court announced in three appeal proceedings against Moderna that it would overturn the first-instance judgments of the Cologne and Bonn District Courts due to serious procedural errors and remit the cases. This marked the first time that proceedings against Moderna were held in North Rhine-Westphalia; previously, there had been proceedings against AstraZeneca or BioNTech there. According to Ulbrich, the procedural errors mainly concerned the assessment of a negative benefit-risk ratio. He stated that the courts should not have used an evaluation by the CHMP based on data from the defendant as an expert opinion; this was to be criticized according to the case law of the Federal Court of Justice. The lawsuits had been sufficiently coherently presented. For a claim for information, it was not necessary to submit all findings and patient records without gaps; it was sufficient to provide facts from which the significance of the evidence could be derived. Also regarding the claim for information, the plaintiffs reportedly made sufficiently plausible statements, according to Ulbrich. The opposing party was given until October 26, 2026, to explain why the Senate should not annul and remit the case itself but rather decide on the claim for information. The announcement of the decisions was scheduled for November 16, 2026. The case numbers were 5 U 75/25, 5 U 62/25, and 5 U 67/25. Ulbrich included a report on one of the three preliminary proceedings before the Bonn District Court. https://t.co/H1KXCDNJBf #Impfgeschädigte #Rechtsprechung #Moderna (translated)

According to him, the base was located 440 kilometers from the front line near Maikop. Jicha also wrote that an ammunition depot was destroyed and that the destruction of the aircraft was confirmed by satellite images. #Ukrajina #vojenskéakce #situationupdate (translated)

The author of the entry assessed that the speech calling for an end to the political war was manipulated and shifted the responsibility for the conflict onto the government. He claimed that for months Bogucki, Nawrocki, and their surroundings undermined the actions of the government and attacked the prime minister and ministers, and then presented themselves as supporters of calming the dispute. The author called such a message propaganda and accused its creators of erasing their own role in escalating the conflict. He also announced that he would remind Bogucki and Nawrocki of this statement during future appeals for responsibility and an end to the political war. He explained that he criticizes the right, Nawrocki's entourage, and the opposition more often than the government because—as he wrote—most of the statements containing manipulations, half-truths, or propaganda that he encounters come from that side. He added that he does not intend to look for examples of government criticism solely to maintain the appearance of balance, and he understands objectivity as applying the same measure to everyone. #Polska #Polityka #Odpowiedzialność (translated)

Josef Franz Lindner described a minority government as the last chance for Friedrich Merz and the CDU. He wrote that Merz could not implement the necessary structural reforms in his view with the SPD and was dependent on the smaller coalition partner. Therefore, he should dismiss the SPD ministers from the government and form a CDU single-party government. Lindner suggested that reasonable members from other parties could support their initiatives. If decisions were only made with the votes of the AfD, he believed that the Greens and SPD would bear the responsibility if they voted against it for tactical or ideological reasons. Merz would neither have to pursue AfD policies nor agree to AfD proposals; agreements with the party were not necessary. Therefore, he also did not see a trap constructed by Robin Alexander and no obstacle from the "firewall." According to Lindner, a minority government would make political responsibility visible and was also important with regard to the elections in 2029. If Merz achieved too little with it, he could pose the question of confidence and thus trigger new elections. In his estimation, Merz and the CDU would regain support as a result. #CDU #Minderheitsregierung #Politik (translated)
